Through the lens of Heartland/Rimland/Sea-Power Theory, a look at Moscow and Beijing's attempts to build a multipolar horizontal global order to displace the American-led unipolar Liberal World Order.
Excellent article. Appreciated the addition of Mahan's theory, which I was unfamiliar with. You may find a lot of similarities between this article and one I wrote back in October. Appears we're on the same page.
Yes, your article is excellent! I was working on a section on the Great Game but I ran out of space! I was going to work in Rudyard Kipling's novel Kim. What's interesting though is that Britain allied with Russia in the Napoleonic War, WW1 and WW2. We're definitely on the same page though!
Britain has been terrified of a Russian-German alliance and did everything in its power to drive Russia and Germany apart. The US has basically taken up the mantle of the old British empire and is doing the same thing, e.g. Nordstream. I'm increasingly of the opinion that the British empire never died, but just moved its capital to Washington, DC.
The big question looming over the world geopolitical future is will China and Russia use horizontal escalation with Iran to put pressure on the US because the US is breathing hard down on them in their immediate neighborhood? China buys $500 billion in oil from Iran over the next several years and Russia supplies the advanced weapons like air defense and aircraft. Iran then enriches uranium past the threshold and Israel/US go to war against Iran including deploying 200,000 troops to Iraq and Syria to keep Iran from sending weapons to proxies around Israel. That I believe will be the big geopolitical event of the 2020s that truly rearranges the order. Too bad for Israel. It gets to experience the full brunt of blowback from US belligerence towards China and Russia.
I know that China-Russia will try to spread the Collective West as thin as possible without necessarily starting a shooting war. So Ukraine, Taiwan, Iran and North Korea will stay as potential trouble spots with each occasionally heating up. If a war starts in Iran for example, then China would see this as an opportunity to threaten Taiwan. Israel is in a particularly delicate position after the Iran-Saudi peace deal. It seems every Middle Eastern nation is negotiating to join the BRICS+ except Israel.
EXCELLENT research for global awareness of the EVILS of superpowers
Thanks!

Look forward to reading more of your stuff!
